@AWPC had a good bit of exploring tonight. I really need to throw out / sell a lot of stuff, I kept getting overencumbered to the point I couldn't even wear my power armour. Then when we were exploring those mines and I kept picking up missiles, that just really pushed me over the weight limit. :D

H3ll yeah that was fun :D with Buffs & Perks I now have +18 Endurance +15 Strength + 13 Intelligence plus my latest PA means I can carry a LOT ;) Since playing from Hour 1 of the BETA sessions I have gathered about 35 Fusion Cores & really do not want to dump them but as they weight 3.0 each that is a LOT of space taken up (I already dumped about 40 but am having a real time dumping them as it took so long to gather naturally (not server hopping) but no way to sell or scrap so I have to sooner or later otherwise I am always out of space!).

Did my PA Red helmet light seem bright to you its described as a Tactical Red Light??
 
I managed to get a fatman from the Motherload quest that I stumbled on when trying to find part of the main quest. I can't use it yet, but its there patiently waiting. Seen a few nuke warnings but not been near enough to see on yet. I'm wondering why everyone goes into the nuke area, maybe some resources are generated?

Playing Fallout 76 is the first time in a very long time (Since the Wither 3 I would guess) that I've actually been able to get excited about a game, its been a long time coming.

In the nuke zones the mobs are high level and give great XP. Also they drop legendary weapons and armour.

When you enter a Nuke Zone you get very rare Ore as well!

Just bought it to give it a try, what 'server' are you guys on..?

There aren't servers as such in that you can pick one and all join on it. Basically add whoever you want to play with to your social list and then you can join on each others game. That will then put you on the same server as that person and vice versa.
 
Game is now 15.59 on CD keys. Bargain for the hours you'll get out of it. A vast fun world to explore yes with some bugs still present.

I don't even mind I paid 30 for it.

I do remember seeing it, but can't judge how bright it was, i drowned it out with my pip-boy most of the time! :p

I still think watching my first nuke from a safe distance (for a mere level 12) was one of my all time gaming highs. :D

It certainly is awe-inspiring, wait until you get to explore a nuke zone.

Campsy88 said:

Yep will hopefully be on around the same time as Tom mentioned.

You say you wouldn't buy it, ergo i assume you've never played it - so how can you pass judgement?

The only reason I can possibly think of is mob mentality. I'm very glad I bought it, it broke me out of a gaming slump I've had for years.

Agreed, it's had a very shoddy release, and i'm glad i only paid ~£25 for it, as i think i'd have been pretty miffed at paying £40 considering the number of bugs that were present on day 1.

However Bethesda are getting their act together and have fixed a large number of these, and i believe there's also another patch planned for Tuesday.

I think most people are jumping on the anti-multiplayer bandwagon, which actually isn't as big of a deal as people are making out. This isn't some MMORPG where there's hundreds/thousands of players on a server, you'll bump into players for certain events, especially exploring blast zones after a nuke has just been dropped. But for most of the time, it's pretty uncommon to bump into other players. There's also plenty of side quests, so arguing that lack of NPC's doesn't give much of a story, isn't quite true.

I'm thoroughly enjoying the game (despite running into a few issues), and whilst looks/feels are very similar to Fallout 4, it's a completely different game. FO76 is very much focused on the survival aspect, and means you're very limited in things you can carry around with you, or store. It means you have to think about what weapons you don't/won't actually use, and what junk components you might need lots of.

With how much the game has come down in price, i think people would be mad not to give it a go.

Come on, who pays full price for games now? I was paying more for Amiga games 27 years ago! Looking forward to more bad reviews from whiners to bring prices down for games that are actually great! Not that thats is always the case but it felt like daylight robbery after I found out that Fallout 76 is actually a great game.

In exactly the same boat.

The price is starting to look extremely tempting.

Its not that bad at all do not believe what others say if you liked Fallout 4 you are bound to easily get your moneys worth out of 76 is all I can say. Yes there are bugs & issues but still plenty to enjoy from what they have managed to create :)

I have played it, just don't own it. I had to experience the absolute catastrophe for myself, watched it and played a bit at a friend's after seeing all the YouTube reviews. I won't be playing another Fallout game until they change the engine, this one is very tired now.
